They're in the top of the engine, with the cams.

To be honest you don't really need to know where they are, just listen for excess engine noise. Not usually a problem on a curvy, I think, unless it's got lots of miles or hardly any! Best take a mate with you who maybe knows summit about bikes. Good hunting and hope to see you on here soon with a bike.

everybody makes too big a deal about cam chains & tensioners
their noisey in an SV, learn to live with it, it will gradually get louder, then one day it will be gone , then it will gradually come back again, front & rear not always exactly at the same time, so there will almost always be noise mine have never been touched in 133k |
